The following sentence has been divided into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
My sister and I / work very hard / nevertheless my brother does not do / any task assigned to him.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. nevertheless my brother does not do.

The word "nevertheless" is used to show contrast, but it should be followed by a semicolon or a period before it to separate the two independent clauses.

The correct version should be: "My sister and I work very hard; nevertheless, my brother does not do any task assigned to him."
